Well, there is no step-by-step guide to do this. You are talking about three completely different environments and three separate themes. To get bbpress using a theme that looks similar to the other two themes, you need to create a new bbpress theme. You can’t just drop one of the other themes into bbpress, tweak a few things and magically have it work.

when i try to access bb-admin i’m redirected to forum home and not in admin panel

I’m not the best bbPress guy to help you here, but here’s my first thought: you did not log in as keymaster. When you log in on the front page as keymaster, you should see an admin link next to your name. If you don’t have that after you’re logged in, you might not be set as keymaster.

Jeff, i’m the keymaster rights, and if i delete the require_once( ‘/path/to/wp-blog-header.php’ ); i can access to bb-admin but if i’ve it no…

i’ve called the buddybar and search/login bar in bbpress theme and i login in login bar because i’ve the integration with WP and i’m sure i’ve the keymaster rights and in theory if i go to site.com/forums/bb-admin i can see the administration backend

i’ve the “deep integration” indeed i’ve the search and login bar, i’ve wp_head in head and wp_footer in footer i’ve writed here (#8 post in this 3d), but the buddybar doesn’t show…

any idea?

another information, i’ve installed 0.9.0.4 and the buddybar with the same theme is ok, but i can’t access to bb-admin, so i’ve upgraded to rc-2 (trunk version) all works but not buddybar… thanks for help!

I too am experiencing this problem. The buddybar was displaying fine before I upgraded from my .9 build. Now with 1.0 rc2 I’m experiencing an unusual phenomenon where my search and login/logout fields are all displaying fine, but the actual buddybar itself is not displaying.

Arturo, the two days ago trunk of bbPress integrates perfectly. Sam is making some furious edits to the bbPress core to prepare for launch so it’s possible the trunk version may be broken or changed in some way.
